Hello,
Since a few month I have this weird issue where I can’t add any icons to my desktop (They’re added as widgets instead) and I have no selection rectangle on the desktop.
I only have this issue on one of my PCs, both running KDE Linux. It wasn’t consistent, but I think it is since a few weeks.
Is this a feature or a toggle that I haven’t heard of ?
right click on the desktop and choose configure.
make sure the layout type is Folder View
Ohh that was it !
What does this option do exactly ?

I’ve read a bit about it and I understand it now.
I think it’s a bit strange to have this option.
“desktop” used to be the default so that it was more like gnome
but now the default is “folder view” so it’s more like windows.
whether one thinks that is a good thing or a bad thing probably depends on where they started their computer journey.
